Car info? Does it do it in any other gear, or in neutral?

RPM based vibration can be an engine mount or transmission mount. Speed based vibration can be a u-joint.

if its the drive shaft u joints, the vibration usually kicks up regardless of the guy. I had some bad u joints once and the car would start to rattle itself apart by the time the car would get to 15 or 20 mph.

They're not replaceable, so short of modifying the driveshaft, the fix is to replace the whole thing.
